Photographer = Barrowclough

Barrowclough card "taken for Wilson" (as the Morden cards all are) -- addressed to Miss Flo Morehen, 6 Oak Villas, Archway Road, Highgate, London. Undivided back postmarked November 21, 1905. Squared circle "Morden, Man." cancel.

Barrowclough postcard on the usual Velox back. Inscription appears to say "1906" but I think it's really "1905" as otherwise this would be the only Barrowclough Winnipeg card from after 1905. That's unlikely as he didn't use the Velox back after about September 1905, to the best of my knowledge. A nice image. Not sure whether it's Portage or Main -- only one shop is identifiable -- Devlin's Fine Shoes (now confirmed to be at 406 Main Street, likely the McIntyre Block or one of the buildings next to it).

January 18, 1906 -- this includes the story of Barrowclough's accident with the grizzly down in Lead, S.D.

Jan. 17, 1906, p. 10 of the Winnipeg Tribune.

From the Winnipeg Tribune of February 3, 1906 (p. 16) comes this account of the aftermath of the grizzly bear attack on Winnipeg postcard photographer George Barrowclough, which had taken place in January in South Dakota. According to this, Barrowclough recovered and was appointed assayer at the Homestake Extension Mine in Lead, S.D. (presumably "Homestead" is a misprint).

We learn a little more about Barrowclough's movements in the first part of 1906 from this story from the Winnipeg Tribune of April 24, 1906 (p. 12), in which it is revealed that Barrowclough was in Colorado at the time of the San Francisco earthquake, explaining how he was able to get there quickly enough to take the postcard photographs of the ruined city.

Posted November 15, 1906 on a Cyko back to Master Leslie Beal, Kent Coast College, Hern Bay, England. "With love from Alice. The cars also run out here. They keep buffalo, deer and a black bear at Deer Lodge. It is a fine ride there and back on the bicycle."
